this is what I say

LSU and UNC were the two most talented teams in omaha. I don't think many would argue against that

I think UCLA has played the best in omaha.

LSU didn't play as well as they could of and I think experience may have hurt them

UNC wasn't playing their best baseball coming into omaha. They had to squeeze past everyone to get to omaha.

MSU and UCLA are top 20 talent teams but they got hot at the right time.

OSU had bad bounces all series

UL just sucked

Indiana had their steam run out

NC state didn't really have much outside of rodon.

Talent

LSU UNC is one and two

as far as best team goes taking everything into consideration.

I would say

its one of these four teams UCLA MSU UNC LSU

(I put UNC and LSU in there because of their talent)

best team doesn't win the title, the team who played the best wins the title. But championships aren't for who has the most talent, what team can perform and succeed when they face the best talent in the country. UCLA and MSU have done that LSU UNC didn't that is why they didn't win despite having the most talent.

Well as you said earlier it depends on how one defines the "best".

I do believe every team that wins it all is the best because they had enough talent, and executed well enough when required, to do the things necessary to win a championship.

That does NOT mean they were the most talented team, and frequently more talented teams do not win it all. But a more talented team's inability to execute with their superior talent shows they were lacking in a quality required to be a champion, so they were not the best.

If a team with the hardware is arguably not the best, then a team without it has even less of a claim to that title.
